I got vaccinated last week, this week. It seems the vaccinations are working their way through the people I know. It’s happening, perhaps not as quickly as I’d like, but it seems progress is being made.
Already I see conflicts between the haves and have-nots. A food thread I follow asked if people are ready to dine in. Among the answers: “ Hell no, not till I’m vaccinated” along with “Hell yes, I’ve been vaccinated.” So now we wait for everyone to catch up.
Being in the vax camp I can gloat a bit, and spin fantasies of dinner parties with my vaxed friends. But the vaccination is just the first step. There’s a waiting period for your body’ immune response - first signs at 2 weeks, recommendations to stay isolated for at least another 28 days and a full 56 days till the vaccine has its maximum effect.
While all this happens many households are split and so have to wait till the last person is vaccinated before they can think about such trivial things as dinner parties. So we’re in this odd place where one looks to their “COVID 19” as a welcome increase in BMI perhaps qualifying them for an earlier tier, all our ailments are welcome now to get us through this transition. Let’s get through this one health crisis first.
